NNSA selects Amentum for Savannah River AI data centre; DOE names Brookfield, NextEra for Paducah The National Nuclear Security Administration announced on July 20, 2026 that it had selected Amentum to enter negotiations for a phased lease at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, covering a 1 gigawatt AI data centre and about 2 gigawatts of dedicated on-site generation. Nine days later, the Department of Energy named Brookfield and NextEra Energy as partners at the Paducah site in Kentucky for a 1.8 gigawatt campus behind over $100 billion of announced private investment. Both announcements represent initial selections rather than binding commitments; neither obligates the parties to build the facilities, with Savannah River still in negotiation stages and Paducah pending Kentucky regulatory approval. | Stage change | 1000 MW | added 15 hours ago Jul 20, 2026 |

Prince George's County extends two-year pause on hyperscale data center permits Prince George's County Council extended a temporary pause on new hyperscale data center permits for two years, following community opposition to a proposed 87-acre, 820-megawatt artificial intelligence data center campus in Landover, Maryland. The decision came after local activist Taylor Frazier McCollum mobilized residents through social media campaigns and rallies that drew hundreds to public meetings; the effort gained additional momentum when Governor Whitmer's administration and New York's governor enacted their own data center moratoria the same week. County Executive Aisha Braveboy had initially imposed a six-month pause in late 2025 after calling the county's 2021 fast-track data center approval legislation "a huge mistake." The extension represents a shift in policy after the county had actively incentivized data center development as an economic strategy. | Regulatory | 820 MW | added 15 hours ago Aug 6, 2026 |

London Plan introduces dedicated data-centre policy with enhanced environmental conditions Greater London has introduced a new planning framework treating data centres as strategic infrastructure rather than industrial land, permitting access to previously protected grey-belt sites. The policy imposes five strict conditions: electrical grid capacity, water availability, cluster effects, heat recovery potential, and housing compatibility. Projects over 100 MW must coordinate with National Grid and water operators; backup generators face environmental scrutiny near protected areas. The plan recognises data centres as competing with housing for land and utilities but remains open to development under tightened regulatory oversight. Consultation runs until 15 October 2026, with adoption expected in 2028. | Regulatory | 100 MW | added 17 hours ago Aug 6, 2026 |
